Role Of Bar Council Of India (Bci) And The University Grants Commission (Ugc)As Regulatory Body Regarding Legal Education.

Abstract

Law is the most powerful and effective tool to maintain peace in society and bring about revolution in society through peaceful means. Therefore, legal education has a great responsibility in providing students with the necessary professional knowledge to equip them with the necessary skills so that they can better fulfil their roles. Currently, legal education is regulated by two national bodies:  Bar Council of India (BCI) and  University Grants Commission (UGC). The subject of legal education falls under the purview of two bodies, the UGC and the Bar Council of India. Precisely to ensure harmonisation, the Solicitors Act, in Sec. 7(1)(h) requires the Bar Council of India to consult with the universities. The two are partners with  common goals.
